Not specifically but they told me they had to move 4 people from Shuttle's April class to the next one because they decided to shrunk the class. they also told me that they plan to have classes every month so I did my own math. not specifically told Shuttle class on April. heard LGA is a junior base for CHQ as well though.

LGA is a pretty senior CHQ base... GRR is probably the most junior CHQ base. Where you get based all matters on where they happen to need people right then. 2 may goto CMH, 2 to LGA, and 4 the GRR. Who knows... But usually they don't just send everyone to the same base.

Quite a few of us ex-comair folks at Compass recently. DTW is the junior base right now. No 50 seaters, but owned by TSA.

I sent them a resume but I am minus the 4 year degree requirement hence no phone call. I guess if I had a 4 year degree in basket weaving or surfing I would be a better pilot.

LGA is super junior for S5 and the lines/trips are getting much better. They just added JAX, TPA and RSW overnights and from what I understand, maybe a Caribbean dest or 2 soon. and the line credit ratio is better than any other base. There's guys junior to me getting 16-18 days off with 90 credit

Nice. That's good news as I'll probably end up commuting out of Florida for a little bit. I hope they offer me a spot in the next S5 class.

Well, sounds to me you already made up your mind then. I hear you on the Comair situation. Been there, done that. Good Luck!

I was in the same boat and chose ASA. Of course I live in ATL so my decision was easy. I haven't regretted it once.

Where do you live and where do you want to be based?

That would be my deciding factor in picking a certificate. Junior folks at CHQ can expect MKE/GRR/ORD. Shuttle can expect LGA.

I currently live in FL and won't mind to relocate to the base. still young with no family so I feel free lol...with respect to where I want to be based, out of the three you listed I prefer ORD.
